I currently shoot our local Hockey games on a Mini DVD. I copy the VOB files to my Laptop right after the game and would like to put them all on a DVD or on my iPod. Can you give instructions on how to do this? and what conversion software would you recommend to burn the VOB files to a DVD?

A VOB file (Video Object) is a container format contained in DVD-Video media. It contains the actual Video, Audio, Subtitle (VobSubs) and Menu contents in stream form. VOB files are encoded very much like standard MPEG-2 files.

If the extension is changed from .vob to .mpg or .mpeg, the file is still readable and continues to hold all information, although most MPEG-2-capable players don't support subtitle tracks.

In order to burn the VOB files to a DVD + or - r disc, other standard DVD-Video files are needed as well, including IFO and BUP files. The burning is easily done using software like Nero or Roxio Toast.
